Answer for question (1) section (A):
Introduction
Biometrics is a technique to verify identity based on the unique physiological characteristic (physical and behavior) of human body such as finger print, iris, voice, DNA, face and signature, that can be identified using computer system where it can be stored in database.
The benefits of using biometrics are listed –but not limited to- the below points: 1. Providing security. 2. Speed in verification of identity. 3. Avoiding/minimizing fraud. 4. High availability.(Ahmed, 2010)
In gulf country the suitable methods for e-voting are: Fingerprint and Iris. “Fingerprint is the cheapest, fastest, most suitable and most reliable way to identify someone. And the tendency, due to scale, easiness and the existing foundation, is that the use of fingerprint will only increase”(Sul, 2011).
Fingerprint scanners are the most commonly used biometric system in the World. It is impossible to duplicate another person 's fingerprint in a form that the scanner will recognize. Fingerprint scanner works as follow: the client scan his finger in the scanner. The scanner automatically read the fingerprint and identifies it by comparing the original fingerprint image with stored templates image in the database. The metrics used in fingerprint-based authentication rely on the relative positions found for the minutiae. There are two facts about fingerprints, first fingerprints never change, second No two fingerprints are identical (Gaensslen, 2001).
“Obviously, iris is a high reliable biometric technology for its stability and the high variation degree between individuals. It has enormous pattern of variability among its different individuals. Unlike DNA and fingerprint, iris is
